He mite not have been wild like that but he grew up that way that's the point .... Pac grew up differently n started getting involved in street shyt in his early-mid 20s that's the point he's making which is going backwards .. take tupacs name away instead a much less wilder name like Chris brown n nikkas call him out all the time for the reppin the piru card in his 20s there's no difference other then pac was wilder and took it a step further n set-tripped on a crip rival n got killed .....
Pac grew up hard, tho.The militant sect he was born into could be likened to a "gang-like" organization.
Plenty children of the revolution turned to gangs after their families were destroyed by COINTELPRO.
Some of their parents strung out on drugs.It happened to Pac.He grew up impoverished with a mother addicted to crack.
Hard living....PTSD was common.His sister Sekyiwa spent 2 years in a depression clinic.Gang members are created through
hard living.Adverse economic conditions.Pac wasn't just some total square who suddenly started hanging around gangs when he
joined Death Row.He experienced that shyt in Marin City.Any non-square nicca living Cali has a lil bit of "gangsta" in him.You're
boys family members etc..etc... It's right there in your face.It's not some big mystery to non-initiated members.Pac always had a
curiousity with gang culture.The organization aspect.He saw them as soldiers.Back in those days, the militant minded & the
gangsta mentality sorta fused together.
I don't know how Chris Brown grew up.I think he was a middle class guy from Virginia or some shyt?
